I agree with you all, it gets to you. In my particular case, I am so glad for the video; otherwise I will doubt some of the details.

Yes, this the effect that produced in the rescuing officer:
Charron teared up and said it was the highlight of her 24 years on the force

Officer James Givens has served with the Cincinnati Police Department for over 26 years, but has never quite experienced anything like this before. He was sitting in his patrol car in a parking lot when he got an unexpected visitor. A goose came up to his car and started pecking on the side of it. He threw food out for her, thinking that’s what she wanted, but she didn’t take it.
She continued to peck and quack, then walked away, stopped, and looked back at Officer Givens. Then she came back to his car and pecked at it again. She made it very obvious that she wanted Officer Givens to follow her, so he finally got out of his car and did just that.
The goose led him 100 yard away to a grassy area near a creek. Sitting there was one of her babies, tangled up in a balloon string. He was kicking his feet, desperate for help. He was wary of helping the baby on his own, worried that the goose might attack him, so he called for help from the SPCA, but no wildlife rescuers were available at the moment.
Luckily, Given’s colleague, Officer Cecilia Charron, came to help. She began to untangle the baby, and the mother goose just stood there and watched, quacking. She didn’t become aggressive, and just let Officer Charron do what she had to do to set the baby free. It’s like the mother goose knew they were helping.
Once she untangled the baby, she put her down and she ran right to her mom and they went back to swimming in the creek. Charron teared up and said it was the highlight of her 24 years on the force.

The Biblical reasoning behind a judicial comitee?
by CitizenofEarth ini was wondering today what i would say if i ever were to be called to a judicial trial in the congregation, and my conclusion was that i didn't really have any biblical defense against it.
so i was wondering what you guys would recommend.
it seems far fetched to me that the bible condones a 1 vs 3 biased trial (where you already have been judged beforehand), instead of one where you have a unbiased judge, a defense and a prosecutor/accuser.

I remember reading that the idea of the modern judicial system of the WT is a copy of the Masonic discipline procedures, I don't know much about this but I read also that censure, reprimand and expulsion are part of both procedures. I guess that a lot of closed religions have similar arrangements.
The Biblical support for the Committees is very thin.

The Watchtower and Islam
by Hecce ina few times we have commented in the forum about the lack of information in the watchtower publications about the islamic religion.
we have to go back to 1951 to find a very comprehensive analysis of mohamed and his religion that is in the book “what has religion done for mankind?”.. this subject is discussed on page 278 and chapter 22, under the title “islam, mohamed religion of submission”.
the information is written with the watchtower detailed style for those days and there is a lot of history to be learn in that chapter.

Thanks Earnest
I have to update my personal study calendar.
I took a look at the book and it seems really comprehensive, lots of good material. One thing that I noticed is that it doesn't end with an admonition and judgement like the 1951 book.

One false expectation from the WT. Islam was more resilient that international communism; today they are the menace and communism is just another ideology.
and today it is threatened like Christendom by the world menace of international communism.
Another falsehood, there was no "final crisis"; it is impossible to count how many more with have had since 1951.
In this the final crisis of this old world Islam has no message to offer distressed humanity

Evidence

Anonymous said...Good point. Here's a real life experience on this issue:
My family was from '58-'70 a part of the Columbia Heights Congregation which met downstairs in Brooklyn Bethel. Because it was so convenient for the members of the Governing Body we were used to seeing them at meetings when they were in town. Mostly, though they were gone, often on international trips which they wold occasionally tell us about.
In 1960 I graduated from high school in NYC. In those days all graduating seniors were required to sign a loyalty oath to get the diplomas they'd worked for. Hayden Covington, the Society's Constitutional lawyer wrote a letter on my behalf to the Board of Regents in order for me to get my diploma without having to take that oath.
Imagine how I felt when not long afterward I applied for a passport and found every American was required to sign the EXACT SAME LOYALTY OATH in order to receive a passport! I knew then that every American on GB (all but 1-2 in those days) HAD TO HAVE SIGNED that very oath that signing would have once described "disloyalty to Jehovah's Kingdom Government".
BTW, I DID sign the oath and I DID get my first passport. Never again did I put my trust in the WT's 'do what I say, not what I do' twist on "Truth".
Today, older and wiser, I suspect that I was selected by the Society and Covington for convenience, hoping to make a federal case out of this oath. (There must have been hundreds of other JW's graduating at the same time, but none lived as close to HQ! as I did.) It was wise of the board to mail my diploma without comment.http://watchtowertruth.blogspot.com/2008/10/why-cant-jws-pledge-allegiance-to-usa.html

Snoochems: thanks for your comment, both religions are full of submission and fanaticism.
